Elder scrolls lore

Why we think Hammerfell is the location of The Elder Scrolls 6There's really not a lot to go on here but, if we had to, we'd plant our flag in Hammerfell as the location of The Elder Scrolls 6. Just. Here's why - and bear with us, because we're going way into speculation territory here... Basic assumptions:Firstly, let's make some assumptions. Let's assume, for the sake of narrowing it down, that the following is true (and that you've watched that teaser trailer, above):It's not set in all of Tamriel - it might be (and we'll discuss the possibility of that below), but if we want to even try to narrow it down, we have to at least start with assuming this trailer isn't just a generic mockup of "somewhere in the continent". For now, let's say the location of the trailer hints at the location of the game.It's not set outside of Tamriel - again, we discuss the possibility of this below and again, for us to really narrow it down we need to assume it's somewhere we already know a decent … [Read more...] about We think we’ve figured out The Elder Scrolls 6’s location

It finally happened people: The Elder Scrolls 6 has been announced. Currently in pre-production Bethesda confirmed it was ON. There's no Elder Scrolls 6 release date yet but we do have the first Elder Scrolls 6 trailer: Aaaand that's it. Just the trailer and a shot of landscape that everyone's currently frantically trying to identify. The two most popular options at the moment are Hammerfell or High Rock.If it's Hammerfell then that puts us in Redguard territory, something we've not seen Bethesda focus on since 1998's The Elder Scrolls Adventures: Redguard, a more action adventure focused take on the series. High Rock on the other hand is an area that borders Hammerfell and is where the Bretons originate from. That's actually more likely as Elder Scrolls lore states it's a more cloudy area, matching that opening shot of the trailer … [Read more...] about The Elder Scrolls 6 officially announced

It's right when you're laying down some funky orc drum beats for a topless male dancer, admiring the wiggle of his lithe hips, that you realize this is a slightly different Elder Scrolls Online expansion than you were expecting. With its vineyards, theatrics and a cheeky glint in its eye, Summerset is ESO letting loose Summer Break style.Don't fret, there's all the high fantasy and cheekbones you could want. This is land of the elves after all, the haughtiest of all the magical races, and there’s lots of lore laden chatter about Daedric princes and the Psijic Order to wallow in. It’s just complimented with a bunch of camp and comedic side quests. With each expansion ESO has added a new dimension to its world, and it’s slowly been reaching that glorious point when an MMO is confident enough about its fanbase to start having a little fun with them. Nowhere was this more obvious than in a simple enough seeming side quest in Rellenthil, starring a troupe of … [Read more...] about Summerset is Elder Scrolls Online’s strongest, and silliest, chapter yet

Bethesda’s MMORPG Elder Scrolls Online is coming off of its most successful year yet having reached 10 million players. Now with more players than ever, the game’s next expansion Summerset will bring even more Elder Scrolls lore and gameplay to the MMO’s largest audience yet. We got to speak to the Elder Scrolls Online‘s game director Matt Firor about the upcoming expansion’s new features as well as their recent milestone with the game. Michael: How does the next expansion of Elder Scrolls Online, Summerset, affect new players, as well as those who have put hours in? Matt Firor: ESO is not really level based. So, you can play Summerset as a brand new player who has never played the game before, as an experienced player with a new character or just bring your old character over. The game auto balances everyone’s level. You can really just log in now and go anywhere in the world; nothing is level limited. This makes it possible to do stuff like … [Read more...] about Elder Scrolls Online Interview — Game Director Discusses Summerset and Recent Success

Here’s a quick look at the huge new zone added in the latest expansion for The Elder Scrolls Online. At this point The Elder Scrolls Online is essentially a completely different game to the one that launched back in 2014. After somewhat rocky beginnings the MMO managed to stabilize itself as a sturdy, engaging and fun pay-to-play MMO without a subscription – just buy the game once and you’re set to get stuck into its content, which varies from typical multiplayer MMO shenanigans down to more typically Elder Scrolls style single-player quest lines. After a successful outing in Morrowind, ESO is moving on by revisiting another classic Elder Scrolls location – Summerset Isle, first featured in 1994’s The Elder Scrolls Arena. Arena was obviously a very different kind of game, but the new MMO version of Summerset keeps the landmass recognizable and features a good number of nice little nods for Elder Scrolls lore nerds, though it’s also built to be … [Read more...] about The Elder Scrolls Online: watch us wander around Summerset, the new expansion area
